Hi All
For some reason i sometimes find files with strange names like '??'. When i do
a long listing the file name changes to some other bizare character
combination. When i try to delete the file using 'rm', or cat it, i can't seem to
pass the correct filename to rm (i do try to escape characters, and use 'TAB' but no luck). Is there a way to pass an inode number to rm or cat?
thanks,
--brad

Well I'm running rh7.3 and I've got another box with this same card running
7.3 as well on the same network without a problem??
Weirdness.
Tim.

Ahh. So it looks like it was a crappy card/driver problem after all.
I did see somewhere else that you might want to download the driver
from Intel and try that instead...of course I think that was the e100
they were referring to in that message :-/

Is the port the card is plugged into also running at full duplex? If
autonegotiation is disabled on only one end of the link, you will have a
duplex mismatch since the other end will fall back to half duplex.
Always use autonegotiation on both ends, or on neither end.
Any other errors? What does netstat -i show?

Try running tcpdump or ethereal on the link. I usually use tcpdump to
write to a file, then copy it to my workstation and load it into ethereal
there:
server# tcpdump -i eth0 -s 1500 -w capture.pcap
(the -s 1500 makes sure it captures the whole ethernet frames)
I usually see these errors due to one of three reasons:
1. the netcard and/or driver is misconfigured (duplex, interrupt, etc.)
2. the netcard and/or driver is buggy or bad (usually seen on 3c503's :)
3. there is a TON of traffic on the network which is causing the card
to not be able to keep up with the reception and transmission of all
the packets.

I just moved a box from a testing network to a DMZ network and I'm getting
all this weird ethernet crap...
here's the error's I keep getting
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out status 7088 0c00 at 241/301
command 001c000
the commands are different along with the status codes.
the box has a Intel 10/100 Pro card running at 100 full duplex.
I hooked up a win2k laptop configured it to the proper ip in the DMZ and it
worked fine, so I know it's not the link.
Thanks,
Tim.

Folks,
I've got this idiot little USB camera that I got as part of a promotion.
(Specifically, it's a QuickVideo weeCam USB from Alaris that I got a
couple years back from Earthlink.)
Near as I can figure, there are no drivers for this fool thing for
Linux.
IF I were to attack the problem, where should I start? I've noticed in
the logs that the system sees it when it is connected and disconnected,
so I suppose that's a Good Thing, but I don't know where to go from
there.
Bear in mind that I've never had to write anything like this before, so
I'll be starting with a clean slate, as it were... 8\
Any assistance would be appreciated.

I have sendmail set up here at work, and everyone can send email fine,
except when I try to send using the good old mail command.. it tells me
"Can't create transcript file ./xfg4OGa2S21960: Permission denied
queueup: cannot create queue temp file ./tfg4OGa2S21960, uid=500: Permission
denied" I have tried doing chmod 777 on the "/var/spool/mqueue" and it still
fails. However when I use pine and set my smtp server to box.domain.com (
the localhosts name ) I am able to send fine. This problem is preventing a
webmail client I wrote from sending mail... Any ideas?
Thanks,
Joe
